Items Rod of Focus Fire

[MinerTurtle45]

Summoning.
Hard to control what your summons attack.
Does absolutely nothing in PvP.
I propose something that could kind of fix those problems, the

Rod of Focus Fire
[sprite pending]
[recipe pending]
Allows you to direct your summons to attack one point.
Gives a small damage buff to summons while in use.

Melee summons follow your cursor and turn on their damage hitbox, and projectile summons and Turrets fire at your cursor. These attacks do damage to other players if PvP is turned on. Also puts a small damage increase on active summons to give more of a reason to use it over the targeting system summoning staves got recently.

Not a PERFECT solution, but on that I think could fit.

You're already aware that all summoning staves have now the ability to 'lock-on' targets with right-clicking? This would certainely help a part of the annoyance already.

That said, I'm all up for more self-control with the summon attacks.
Although it's at the cost of been able to attack yourself, but I think that's a decent way to balance out the extra minion support
(maybe eventually a small attack buff to the minions when using the rod.)

That... would have been nice to know quite some time ago...
